A Letter to Amazon on Sales Tax

If anyone knows how to easily generate a sales-tax-paid report from your Amazon account, please share in the comments below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Amazon,

Would you add a feature in the “Your Account” section of the Amazon website to generate a sales-tax-paid report?  The goal is to provide your customers an easy method for deducting sales tax paid through Amazon from our federal taxes.

Benefits:  
  • Your customers are happy that their tax bill is reduced.
  • You earn more money as customers view taxes paid at Amazon as less than taxes paid elsewhere. 
  • It is completely legal.
  • The cost to implement is tiny; you have already provided the capability for generating annual purchase reports.

I look forward to hearing from you, and seeing this new benefit.

Best Regards,
Will
